First Fountain Pen NIB surgery completed =)

[nates02gt]

Well mostly anyway. I got the feed and the NIB all apart. This stems from the warranty question I asked in the marketing section on the forums. Thanks to Ed with Exotic Blanks for providing the video link to fine tuning your nib. After getting it apart, I was able to determine two problems. The first problem is the are several sections in the feed that filled with dried ink. The second problem is there is only a pinhole of light that can be seen on the NIB. By pinhole, I literally mean a pinhole. You cannot see any light along most of the length of the slit. I will be ordering some of the brass shims that were in the video so I can tune it up and get it working again. For anyone else that hasn't seen the video, the link is below. Thanks again Ed!

This video does not exist.

Also welcome to the wonderful world (NOT) of kit nibs. What do you plan on doing to things while you are in there?

That is odd. I will have to check the link. It was labeled something like 'fine tuning a fountain pen'.

Just remember, a 'good surgery' nets you this.
